Mayor Steve Fry was the first customer at the Williamson Whistle Stop - a nod to the city’s railway which ran right in front of the store for many decades - during a ‘soft opening’ Feb. 28. He and his kids were also the first customers at the new convenience store’s attached Subway restaurant. In the fall, a Papa John’s pizza restaurant will open at the store as well. The gas station and restaurant are now open for business.
